A literary cabinet of curiosities about the wonders and oddities of the natural world, “Vesper Flights” collects Helen Macdonald’s best loved pieces together with new essays.

Meditating on notions of captivity and freedom,  immigration and flight, Helen writes with heart-tugging clarity about wild boar, swifts, mushroom hunting, migraines, the strangeness of birds’ nests and the unexpected guidance and comfort we find when watching wildlife.
